The Opposites

New Strangers (Chapter 1- Page 1)

Moving to a different town is very stressful. Especially when being alone. No family member I can turn to for comfort.. not even a friend. But I guess everyone in this world is alone at some point. My name is Meyumi Okasa. I'm 17 years of age. You may be wondering why I moved to a town by myself. Well my parents sent me to another school without me knowing.. I don't know their reason for this but I'm pretty sure it's for something good. I hope.

"Are you there miss?"A man said as he walked up to me curiously. " You're the last person here in the bus."

I realized I spaced out again. It has been happening ever since I moved to Strangeville. Maybe it's name is right. It is a strange town.

" Yes yes I'm here! Sorry. Where are we sir?" I look around confused. The man looks at his Gps "We are currently on St. Aftermath Street." I stood up and gasped "I am really far from my apartment. Is there a way you can drive me to Wavers Pl Street?" " Sorry miss. I wish I could but my shift is over for now and I have to turn in this bus" he said looking concerned. " it's okay, It's my fault anyways." I walked out the bus clueless, not recognizing the area I'm in. (Checks GPS) "okay I am pretty far from my apartment."

I start walking and I noticed so many unfamiliar faces staring at me. I don't know why they are staring but I am distressed. As I was walking, I spotted a cafe nearby and I decided to stop there. I got me a latte and start walking out. But before I proceeded to open the door, There was someone from my peripheral view and I had to look. The person next to me was beautiful but mysterious. There was something about her that changed my opinion about this town. Suddenly she looked at me and smiled.
"Nice to meet you Ms?" she reached out her hand. "Call me Meyumi" I said nervously while shaking her hand aggressively. "You can also call me Kahana or Kan for short. I noticed that you were staring at me by the way." I nervously laughed, " Oh you did? Well if so I am sorry." Kan smirked "It's okay love." After she said that, my nervousness increased. But at the same time, I enjoyed her saying it. "Well I have to go home," i said as I let go of her hand. "Let me escort you out please" The mysterious kan lady held my hand. "Okay." We both walked out the door. "Well I guess this is goodbye," I said as I let go of her cold hands. "See you some other time I guess Meyumi." I smirked and start walking back to my apartment.

Still, there were people staring at me. Was it my clothing? Is it different? Is it my face? I have no idea. Now to think of it, why didn't I get her phone number? We could have been friends. I am foolish. After a while, I spotted my apartment and I started to walk inside of it. Once I opened and step my foot into the apartment, my jaw dropped. All of the nice glass decorations and items in my apartment were broken. I soon noticed that I have been robbed. My purse dropped and I screamed to the top of my lungs. Soon, the police came.
"Are you alright ma'am? The neighbors were worried and decided to call us. Have you witness it? Have you seen the person who did this to this place? Were you not at home?"

There were more questions than that and I didn't get to answer any of them. I felt pressured by all of these questions. I wanted to leave the scene but I couldn't. I mean, it wasn't that serious or bad but I guess it was since it's all over the news.

" I am alright sir. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to witness my house being robbed. I was at a cafe." The officer went closer," we will find out who did this okay ma'am? This town is really small so we will find out. But For now we can help you clean the broken glass and anything else that is damaged. Once we leave, you stay here and continue living your life. If you see anything unusual, you know who to call."

The police in my city are not usually like this. I enjoy it but I don't know.. it seems unusual and somewhat creepy- ish.

"Thank you sir but it's okay, I will clean this." The police starts to walk away, "Will do, ma'am."

I start cleaning all of the mess in my small apartment.

1 hour later

It is all good now. I may have to buy some more decorations but it's fine. I'm going to just get in a bath.

10 minutes passed

Woah, this is definitely the best part of my day today... well One of the best parts.

Gasps for air and wipes eyes

Did I see someone!? I could've sworn I saw a strange figure pass in the kitchen. Where is my phone? Hey Bixby, call 911.

The police picks up "911 what's your emergency?" I get out the bath and grab my towel. " I might need help. I saw a human like figure pass in my kitchen."

"Location?," The police asked concerned. "My address is 52-"

Phone disconnects and Electricity went out

Hello? Anyone there? Bixby?

I went to my phone to see why the call disconnected and noticed that my phone was dead.

"Oh no.. this is not the right time for my phone to be going dead.."

Then, I proceeded to say hello to see if anyone is in my house. There was no response. I ran into my room since I didn't want to risk looking around. If my family were with me, they would know what to do. I am clueless.

I finally decided to man up and walk around my apartment to see if there was any intruders.

Hello? Just come out please.

I began to hear sirens.

Thank god. Luckily They tracked my location..

As I was waiting, I heard the back door open

"Wait!," I said as I were running towards the back door as well.

All I saw was a person in a black hoodie. Looks like a lady.
*hears banging on the front door

"OPEN UP" the police screamed. I walked towards the door to open it. " You're too late sir. But I saw the person." The police got closer to me saying," Which way did they go?" I backed away a little and replied, " They went through my back door." The police ran through my back door leaving it open. I closed my door and went into my room. "Well I'm safe now I guess.. Well I hope."

I put on the rest of my clothes and I sit on my bed. Soon, I turned on my favorite show and got comfortable. From my peripheral view, I saw something in the window but I did not want to look. But my instincts told me to look at my window. What I saw was very traumatizing. Someone's watching me. All I saw was a eye and 2 bloody hands. I ran to my windows to close the blinds and I made sure all the doors in my apartment were locked. After that, I couldn't move away from the door. I just couldn't move at all. Next thing I know is that I'm on the floor.

I couldn't move a bone. I was staring at the ceiling, blinking fast.. then blinking slow. Lastly, I closed my eyes. I guess I can say that I passed out.

That is the end of the first page of my book! I hope you guys enjoy it. Lesson from this page: Check your surroundings!! You'll never know what happens if you don't.
